Chute Control
Figure 5-1
Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever
is earlier, check whether the four-way chute control™
cables have slackened. If the chute does not rotate fully,
the chute control cables will have to be adjusted.
To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:

Drive Control & Shift Lever
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It
should NOT be tight.
Never attempt to
make any adjust-
ments while the
engine is running,
except where speci-
fied in operator’s
manual.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push
the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn.
The unit should not roll freely.

With the drive control released, move the shift lever
back and forth between the R2 position and the F6
position several times. There should be no resistance
in the shift lever.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in
need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket.
See Figure 5-3.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
Retighten the lower hex nut.
WARNING: Run the engine com-
pletely dry of gasoline before tipping
